I don’t regularly watch any of it whether normal weekly show or special event, but wrestling. I still read up news and stuff about wrestling but I can barely consider myself a fan.

I don’t play and am not interesting in playing Rocket League anymore; but I still watch an occasional pro match.
I used to keep up with distance running and ultimate frisbee, but after having kids didn’t have time to stay competitive. I’ll still run solo, or play an occasional pickup game, but not doing it regularly makes me a little depressed that my skill level and physical condition aren’t what they once were. 😓
Not necessarily lost interest but refusing to play so myself. League Of Legends. I used to play it all day, every day and whenever I could.
But at some point, I did not enjoy it anymore. I uninstalled everything and gradually quit watching Twitch streams of it. Now I just watch a Twitch stream from time to time and then a long while not etc.
I go through the WOW wiki like once a year or so to catch up on what’s going on with the lore.
Djing for me. I have a controller and some decent speakers that I almost never use but I still collect music into playlists as if I were still active and watch the reviews on all the latest innovations and new hardware.
Used to be big into assembling PCs when I was a kid. Haven’t done so in ages, but still keep an eye on the latest hardware.
Warhammer 40,000 for me. I haven’t painted or purchased a model in decades but I still love looking at the new releases. I still play the video games here and there though
Most of my hobbies really, 40k, airfix style, TV programmes, reading, computers, wood burning, cooking, etc. Seem to have a massive push on one thing for a week or two, then lose the motivation.
I feel you on this one. Plus the expense of everything these days has also largely pushed me out as well.
Formula 1. Watched it religiously for many years then the regulations got weird so my interest started waning. I check in from time to time but the last race I watched was around 5 years ago.
Dating and relationships.
Used to be something I put a lot of effort into and it was kinda fun, now not fun anymore so there is no point in putting effort in.
Same. Plus the effort to reward was often very minimal. Most of my best relationships are / were friends that we decided it would be mutually beneficial to add more “nuance” to the relationship. :)
I can be a hobby dilettante, so there’s a lot I could list.
Technology and personal computers is probably the biggest one. I used to work in IT and as a hobby had a few computers at home running different flavors of linux for different purposes. I was a big technology enthusiast in general. These days I maintain a basic level of knowledge and awareness because I feel like I have to. I would happily give it all up if I could.
I also follow Magic the Gathering developments despite not buying cards in decades and it’s been about a year since I played Arena (the free online version of MTG). The rules and card interactions are still really interesting, but I just can’t be bothered to play. I’ve thought more than once about applying to be a judge for MTG tournaments.
video games in general. there was a time when video games were my number one hobby by a huge margin. if i had free time i was playing a game, and the only times i would do something else were when i burned myself out or finished something and didnt have anything else to play yet. im not entirely sure what changed over the past decade or so but i slowly stopped finding games engaging enough to hold my interest. i kept trying new games hoping something would hit the way it used to, and sometimes id find that for a while, but now most games i cant play for more than an hour before i get bored and drop them forever. its kind of sad because i used to get so much joy from video games and now i just dont.
Was going through that until I decided on a whim to try the yakuza series, which is very unlike what I usually play. 7 games later and I am now a huge fan
Not saying this is you, but ive noticed society in general had our brains friend by big tech and smartphone use. If you start detoxing and going back to 03 levels of tech use, you start to enjoy things like long form games and books again.
Or maybe you just need a good game series. I’d recommend life is strange (very movie like), or the Alan wake series (Control is an amazing game).
Or, maybe you just value more important things in life than games right now. Thats fine too.
Same here, could be just depression or having other stress in life. Every now and then though I do find an absolute gem of a game I can sink hours into (before dropping it again).
This weekend I actually managed to finally get some people together for Meccha Chameleon and we had a blast, played for about 5 hours :)
Building PCs. I used to find cheap PC parts and throw together a slowish, but functional computer for the fun of it. I built a few computers for “word of mouth” customers.
I got into other things, and lost touch with the previous clients.
I decided to get back into it a few years ago because my parents needed a new machine. I had to do quite a bit of research, and things were way more expensive than they had any right to be (this was even before the RAMpocalypse), but I got it done. It was still fun, but I realized it’s not something I want to spend a lot of time doing anymore. I still try to follow all of the tech news/tips/reviews, just in case, though.
Similar. I am/was the go to for my family regarding technology. Last year my uncle asked me about laptops for her daughter that was about to enter college and I had no idea. I have been using an inexpensive core i3 for the past 7 years with linux for my personal laptop and my work changes me my laptop wave 2 or 3 years but it is so bloated that it never feels fast and I no longer have any idea about the trends or requirements nowadays
I used to have 2 custom PCs and upgraded them little by little every time I found something interesting on sale
World of Warcraft, I think? I think I outgrew it in a way because currently thinking of playing WoW feels better than actually doing it.
Retail wow kinda sucks it’s just one big chore. I am actually looking forward to wow forever. It seems so chill.
I dont play Rust anymore but I do watch some Rust YouTubers to help remind me why I don’t play rust anymore
Same with DotA for me. Used to play a lot, but then it just became a chore. The community was (is) shit, Valve doesn’t care about DotA, and the meta doesn’t change often enough. The game is slow and lacks innovation. There’s only one supported e-sports version of DotA and it barely changes.
Now I just watch once in a while, but mostly it’s in the background to make noise.
